Let me apologize in advance for being a noob who's about to ask a question that's more than likely already been answered a thousand times.
Here's my deal. I was a registered investment advisor for ten years working as a captive agent for a major insurance company. Last October, I had a minor mid life crisis and became disenchanted with the entire industry. As a result, I quit doing everything necessasry to be successful, handed in my resignation letter, bought a half pound of grass, and decided it was time for me to rest up heal the mind a bit. I was relatively successful, ( 50-75K ) in production annually with the exception of last year (20K)...my passion was gone.
Since then, my attempts at finding a new an exciting career have royally backfired. There's little that I find myself qualified or interested in doing other than selling insurance.
You can say may career has taken a complete 360. A majority of my assets are drained and now I need to make some cash....I've done it before, I sure as hell know I can do it again. ( I have a vast roladex of people I've done business with in the past )
My question specifically ( and if anyone could help me out....I would be eternally grateful ) Which company could I get appointed with to become an independent insurance agent? Forget securities, I simply want to sell life ( term, WL, UL, and LTC ) I want to be strictly a 1099 agent or sub agent....who's not required to attend any bullshit company get togethers, and who never has to deal with any management. Production requirements are not a consideration for me...I can meet them. I'm looking for just a company where I can get licensed with all major carriers, work out of my home office, and receive my checks at the end of the month.
This seems to be a really cool forum filled with some very knowledgable people. Thanks again to anyone who can direct me where to go.
